Chickenzilla Flattens All Greenery!

[speckled_egg]

Hello all,

My fearsome flock of ferocious fowl has decimated almost all signs of greenery in their run! In a yard that trends toward four-feet-tall grass and towering oak trees, this is a touch terrifying. Does anyone have any tricks or tips for balancing out the Chickenzilla rampage, so that I wind up with an evenly-munched yard instead of a bald patch on Rapunzel's head?

Sincere thanks,

Speckled_Egg

Move them often? I don't know, but maybe their yard is too small.

You'll have no luck keeping any kind of grass in their run. If they are free ranging they will attack the flower & garden beds but they will not kill all the grass!! Around the trees they will dig craters all over the place for their dust bathing!! Just the life of chicken keeping!!

I have a small plot of grass about 3 ft. by 3 ft in a cage to keep my chickens from digging it up. They eat what they can reach through the bird cage bars, but can't kill it. That's the only way I have had success with grass in my run

It's called a fence. That's the ONLY solution.
